CRT safety
Caution
You can die doing this! So read carefully! CRT TV is not a toy. Do not open a CRT TV. If you don't have any prior knowledge about handling high voltage devices, this guide is not for you. CRT TV contains high enough voltage (20,000+ V) and current to be deadly, even when it is turned off.

| RGB/OSD inline resistor (chassis) | 1kΩ |
| Removed RGB/OSD resistor (chassis) | 120Ω |
| RGB termination (R1, R2, R3) | 75Ω |
| RGB inline (R4, R5, R6) | 120Ω |
| Audio LR (R7, R8) | 1kΩ |
| Diode (R9) | 1N4148 |
| Blanking Ground Resistor (R10) | open |
| Blanking Resistor (R11) | 120Ω |
